A fast moving storm system, that remained fairly modest in terms of moisture, created a small band of very heavy snowfall across portions of central and southern Minnesota, as well as a small portion of west central Wisconsin. The highest snowfall totals were above 8 inches, and occurred across a small portion of southern Minnesota from near Hutchinson, east-southeast to the southwestern and southern part of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, to near Red Wing, and adjacent counties in west-central Wisconsin, where snowfall ratios averaged around 15-1. The heaviest totals were around Hutchinson, Carver, Credit River, Farmington, Stanton and Zumbrota Minnesota, each of which had amounts over 10 inches.
